Installation

1) Create a temporary directory: mkdir /temp

2) Change to the temporary directory: cd /temp

3) Copy driver (rhinefet.tgz) from DOS disk, (mcopy below is one tool in mtools, if you didn't install mtools, you can type 'mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt' and use 'cp /mnt/rhinefet.tgz /temp' command to copy the driver to the temporary directory): mcopy a:rhinefet.tgz .

4) untar the archive file: tar xzvf rhinefet.tgz / cd src

5) Compile the driver source files and it will generate rhinefet.o, and copy it to correct driver installation path (The installation directory is different in different kernel versions. In 2.4.x/2.6.x kernel, the path is /lib/modules/KERNEL_VERSION/kernel/drivers/net/, and in 2.2.x kernel, the path is /lib/modules/KERNEL_VERSION/net/, the KERNEL_VERSION (see above) means the kernel version of your Linux distribution. If you don't know your kernel version , please run 'uname -r' command in command line. The kernel version will look like '2.2.16', '2.4.2-2smp' etc.) : make install

6) Check configuration file (/etc/modules.conf or /etc/conf.modules or /etc/modprobe.conf, it depends on your Linux distribution) for loading kernel modules. Make sure the first line below is appeared in the configuration file, where # is the interface number (eg: alias eth0 rhinefet). If you need to set the driver options, below second line is an example to set the NIC to 100Mbps fullduplex mode (remember to unmark the line if it is put in the configuration file).
alias eth# rhinefet
#options eth# speed_duplex=2

7) Reboot now: shutdown -r now

8) Install your driver module (If the driver module is in the wrong place, an error message will appear, and say that can't find the driver module): insmod rhinefet.o

9) Use ifconfig command to assign the IP address, where # is network interface number: ifconfig eth# <IP>

10) Check the interface works: ping <remote_host_IP>
